Rockinghorse Recording Co Pty Ltd

THE COTTAGE:

The self-contained cottage boasts three master bedrooms, each containing double beds, so there are facilities to sleep at least 3 couples with full privacy.

Two bedrooms also contain double sofa beds, and the spacious lounge area contains an extra sofa and sofa bed - so if a band bonding experience is the go, there's more than enough bedding to sleep an entourage of 10-12 people comfortably.

The cottage contains full bathroom, kitchen, and laundry facilities, with plenty of hot water and a chef's dream european gas stove. There's an indoor dining room, but if it's a beautiful day (and, let's face it, it probably will be), you might prefer to take advantage of the alfresco experience in the patio garden dining area.

The cottage shares the studio's relaxed, leafy, rural setting. Of course, you'll be busy most of the time, working very hard to create your masterpiece in the studio - but there are plenty of distractions on hand to occupy any downtime:

Outdoors types will love the opportunity to wander through the grounds, where some of Australia's distinctive wildlife abounds. (Make sure you bring a torch so you don't miss out on catching a glimpse of the nocturnal critters!)

The cottage's garden backs onto the green of an immaculate par 3 golf hole, with a full 18 hole golf course under construction on the adjacent hillsides.

If the golf action doesn't tucker you out, you could always try out the full sized clay-surfaced tennis court (located between the cottage and the studio).

Take a short drive, and you can enjoy some of the best surf beaches in the world, and Byron Bay's outstanding dining, shopping and nightlife.

If you're not the outdoors type, don't worry: the cottage comes with a Television, video, and Playstation 2.

The studio owner's villa (also on-site) may be offered to artists seeking more luxurious accommodation, price on application and subject to availability.
